Explaining The IN Filing Process
Sen. Evan Bayh's (D-IN) decision to retire has sent Dems scrambling to figure out who will carry the party's standard -- and how to go about getting that person on the ballot in the first place.
Candidates running for statewide office in IN have to collect 500 signatures from each of the state's 9 districts. Those signatures are due by tomorrow.
Once signatures are in, candidates have until Friday to officially file for office.
Bayh could still file to run, then drop out. But if he does not file his signatures tomorrow, no other Dem is expected to collect the required 500 signatures by then, meaning Dems will get the chance to pick their own nominee. Some DC Dems say the process is the best-case scenario short of having Bayh on the ballot for a 3rd term; allowing the party to pick a nominee will avoid a primary.
Rep. Brad Ellsworth (D) is the early name Dem strategists are throwing around. He easily beat ex-Rep. John Hostettler (R) in '06 to capture a centrist district, and he has cut a moderate swath in his 2 terms in the House.
Still, if Ellsworth runs, that opens up a vulnerable House seat GOPers would make a top target. Bayh's decision could ultimately topple 2 Dem-held seats, making his retirement one of the biggest blows Dems have suffered this year.
Ed Feigenbaum, an IN political analyst, pointed to ex-Rep./Amb. Tim Roemer, who serves as the top U.S. official in India; ex-Indianapolis Mayor Bart Peterson (D), who now works at Eli Lilly; ex-Sec/State/ex-Bayh CoS Joe Hogsett (D); Indiana Univ. athletic director/ex-Bayh CoS Fred Glass; ex-Purdue Univ. pres. Martin Jischke; and Evansville Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel (D) as possible candidates.
One IN Dem source said Bayh may save his money and run for a 3rd term as GOV. Gov. Mitch Daniels (R) is barred by term limits from running again when his term expires in '12.
Here is the Tamyra for Senate Facebook page. She needs signatures by tomorrow just to get on the ballot.

Bayh is a man of integrity! Guess that speaks volumes for those who remain!! The rest had better enjoy their Kool Aid for the remainder of this year, for this time next year the majority will be in the process of getting fitted for HEARING AIDS -- due to not listening to their constituents --

Hope Bayh runs for president in 2012!
There's an interesting movement exploding on facebook as we speak, calling for John Mellencamp to be drafted for this senate seat. Don't laugh - the guy has chops, and he is most definitely not a D.C. regular! Check out his resume on Wikipedia...and spread the word.
Content like this makes me extremely unhappy, I understand it is cleache to ask if we can all simply just get along, but how much more of this are we all gonna put up with?
Online article directories have significantly gained in reputation during the last few years. The predominant reason for this are various SEO coupled features and possibilities an article directory has to offer to authors and content seekers. Some of the popular articles directories allow authors to submit their work for free while some charge a small one-time registration fee. Submit your articles to a free article directory and get published within 24 hours!
I never knew how much stuff you could find online about this! Thanks for making this all simple to grasp
Very interesting way to market on facebook. I also found a way to automate a couple very powerful methods of getting users. You can grab ID by groups or pages or wall posts with this software. Then once you have the IDs you can do a friend add to your user ID or sudo profile. This by passes the captcha codes too. There is also a cool chat program that you can setup scripts and keyword to work with. This program, when I use it I can see a spike in my site traffic. It is sweet...
Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
Super-Duper web site! I am loving it!! Will come back again - taking your feed also, Many thanks.
I'm so glad to have found your web page. My pal mentioned it to me before, yet never got around to checking it out until now. I must express, I'm floored. I really enjoyed reading through your posts and will absolutely be back to get more.
No Articles marketing!? What's with you man!

Excellent information on infilling. Thanks.
ICop Out is really not too bad. I actually did not went to the theater but watched it online, on www.moviez.im - You need to take a survey to unlock the movie but the quality is worth it!
Found a great site that lets Outsourcing Buyers post their projects for FREE.
Stumbled into this site by chance but I’m sure glad I clicked on that link. You definitely answered all the questions I’ve been dying to answer for some time now. Will definitely come back for more of this. Thank you so much
Regardless of your political stance you should always try to appreciate the humor and message of political cartoons
